Hydrogen-Powered GO Trains Considered for Halton

If you’re a constant commuter who takes the GO train religiously to and from work, you’ll probably see some changes happening to the GO trains.

The province is said to introduce hydrogen-powered GO trains which are meant to eliminate the conventional overhead wires already in place, this will improve the service by making the transit system faster and more frequent.

They are also meant to be great for the environment since hydrogen-powered electric trains are considered to be a form of clean electric technology.

There’s also another GO train program set for improvements, the GO Regional Express Rail (RER). The update will include more two-way all-day service to commuters and families across the Greater Toronto Hamilton Area.

Right now the number of weekly trips is 1,500 but with this new update it will crease those weekly trips to up to 6,000 by 2025 making it one of the largest commuter rail projects in Canada.

This improvement will definitely make commuting easier for residents in the Greater Toronto Area and Hamilton. The province is putting in $21.3 billion to transform the GO train system in to a regional rapid transit system.
